1. Problem Description

The problem is based on the Flamingo Airways master schedule.

Part (a) asks: At what time did flight 361 depart from Exuma? This has been already answered in the picture as 9:30 am

Part (b) asks: What is the duration of flight 361?

2. Solution Steps

The flight number is 361 from Exuma to Nassau.

From the table, the departure time from Exuma is 1:30 pm, and the arrival time in Nassau is 2:15 pm.

The duration of the flight is the difference between the arrival time and the departure time.

Duration = Arrival time - Departure time

Duration = 2:15 pm - 1:30 pm

To calculate the duration, we subtract the hours and minutes separately.

Hours: $2 - 1 = 1$ hour

Minutes: $15 - 30 = -15$ minutes

Since we have a negative value for minutes, we need to borrow an hour from the hour difference.

1 hour = 60 minutes

So, 1 hour - 15 minutes = 60 minutes - 15 minutes = 45 minutes.

Therefore, the duration of the flight is 0 hours and 45 minutes.

Alternatively, we can convert the times to minutes past noon.

1:30 pm is $1 \times 60 + 30 = 90$ minutes past 12:00 pm (noon). But this is 1:30 pm not am so need to add 12 hours converted to minutes, or 720 minutes:

$90 + 720 = 810$

2:15 pm is $2 \times 60 + 15 = 135$ minutes past 12:00 pm (noon).

Same as above, need to add 12 hours converted to minutes, or 720 minutes:

$135 + 720 = 855$

So we are taking $855 - 810 = 45$ minutes.

3. Final Answer

The duration of flight 361 is 45 minutes.
